FAMILY FRIENDLY FLORIDA, Top spots for all ages

Every tourist town in Florida has already anticipated the needs of every age demographic in your family. With increasing skill and refinement, nearly every Florida museum, zoo, attraction, restaurant and hotel aims to please traveling families of all stripes.

Your only real trouble is deciding what to do. Florida offers so much for kids and families that planning can be tough.

While Orlando often grabs the spotlight with its big-name theme parks, families looking for a broader range of experiences will do well to head to Florida’s Gulf Coast, where you’ll find fewer crowds, some of the USA’s best beaches, and wildlife that’s free to see and abundant.

Beaches

The prototypical Florida family beach is fronted by or near very active, crowded commercial centers with lots of water sports and activities, tourist shops, grocery stores and midrange eats and sleeps. The beaches listed here are popular destinations with all ages.

Zoos & Attractions

Up-close animal encounters have long been a Florida tourist staple, and the state has some of the best zoos and aquariums in the country. Florida’s native wildlife is truly stunning, and it’s easy to see. Gulf Coast cities also have an high number of top-quality hands-on children’s museums.

Getting Into Nature

Don’t overlook unpackaged nature. Florida is exceedingly flat, so rivers and trails are frequently ideal for short legs and little arms. Raised boardwalks through alligator-filled swamps make perfect pint-size adventures. Placid rivers and intercoastal bays are custom-made for first-time paddlers, adult or child. Book a sealife cruise, a manatee swim or nesting-sea-turtle watch.

Everglades National Park – Bike or take a tram tour along Shark Valley’s paved road, or short boardwalk trails around the Royal Palm Visitor Center. Visit Everglades City and Flamingo centers for family-friendly kayaking.
